The micro motor 17 is used for driving to realize automatic operation. A gear 18 is fixedly provided on the front side of the output shaft of the micro motor 17. The gear 18 is provided on one side of the rack 7 and meshes with the rack 7. A baffle 19 is hinged at the bottom of the frame plate 2 to play a sealing role.

[0027] A fixing plate 34 is fixedly provided on the top of the outer walls on both sides of the frame plate 2. The fixing plate 34 is internally threaded with screws 35 for connecting the entire device with the drone.

[0028] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: when in use, first install the frame plate 2 on the drone through the screws 35 on the fixing plate 34, and then it can be used. The staff controls the micro motor 17 in the storage cavity 16 through the remote control device to drive the gear 18 to rotate.

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1 , 2 , 3 and 7, a 5G antenna structure for a drone with high wind resistance reliability in this embodiment, air cavities 20 are opened inside both sides of the frame plate 2, air inlet grooves 21 are opened on the outer wall surfaces on both sides of the frame plate 2, a first filter cloth 22 is fixedly provided in the air inlet groove 21, an air outlet groove 23 is opened at the bottom of the outer wall surfaces on both sides of the frame plate 2, a second filter cloth 24 is fixedly provided in the air outlet groove 23, the first filter cloth 22 and the second filter cloth 24 are used to filter the air to prevent dust and impurities from entering the air cavity 20 and affecting the heat dissipation effect.

[0030] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: when the drone is in use, due to the high-speed flight of the drone, the external wind flows from the air inlet slot 21 on the frame plate 2 into the air cavity 20, and the heat generated by the antenna body 1 is transmitted to the air cavity 20 through the heat conduction plate 3 in the frame plate 2, and the heat is blown away from the air outlet slot 23 by the wind, which plays a role in heat dissipation and cooling. By providing a first filter cloth 22 in the air inlet slot 21 and a second filter cloth 24 in the air outlet slot 23, the gas can be filtered to prevent dust and impurities in the air from entering the air cavity 20 and causing blockage, thereby affecting the heat dissipation. The wind is used to dissipate the heat of the antenna body 1, and there is no need to use other electronic equipment for heat dissipation. The heat dissipation effect is better, which greatly reduces the consumption of electric energy.

The second Velcro 31 is bonded to the first Velcro 30, so that the connection between the baffle 19 and the frame plate 2 is more secure and convenient to open the baffle 19 from the bottom of the frame plate 2 for use.

[0034] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: when the antenna body 1 needs to be extended, the micro motor 17 is started to drive the gear 18 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 18 drives the rack 7 to move downward, thereby driving the antenna body 1 and the slider 6 on the mounting plate 8 to move downward together and extend from the bottom of the frame plate 2.
